Let's Go Mets!

When we got to Citi Park, we bought the cheapest seats available.  We knew this meant the upper deck, but our seats ended up being in the very last row. It was okay though because there was a great breeze at such a high altitude!
Yes, Andrew is wearing a White Sox shirt. He had originally packed every piece of White Sox apparel that he owns thinking he would wear them to each game. At that point, I reminded him how we make fun of those people who wear random sports apparel to games. We call them a name, which may not be appropriate, but it starts with a "d" and ends with "bag". We also saw the following sports teams represented: New York Jets, Cincinnati Reds,and New York Yankees (poor taste).

Citi Park is a great stadium. Andrew said it was his favorite stadium so far. There were great food and beer options and 2 Jumbo Trons where they showed instant replays after each play.
Andrew was excited about this game since the Mets played the St. Louis Cardinals, so he was able to watch his man crush, Albert Pujols J
We had the obligatory hot dog, but these were Nathan’s hot dogs…delicious!
As our local fare, we chose a hot pastrami sandwich since neither of us had ever had one. We decided we probably would never crave one, but it was good.

It wasn't an overly exciting game, but the Mets won 4-2. We did witness another home run to add to our count.
We are really looking forward to meeting up with Julie and Sean tomorrow for lots of New York sightseeing!

  1. Have a great time with Julie and Sean :) It looks like you're having an amazing trip so far! Can't wait to read more. If you're going to be in Times Square, I really liked Playwright Pub. I went there last week and it had great food and drinks!

  2. Have fun in NYC! We're enjoying reading your daily updates. I really wish the King of Queens reenactment would have worked out, but you're probably right that people would have just thought you were rolling around in the grass.
